Takeaway: Understanding Cloud Computing for technological infrastructures.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing resources as a service over the Internet. The varieties of services offered are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Network as a Service (NaaS).
Scalability, fast provisioning and agility help all organizations, big and small, reach monetary growth.
There are a few major misunderstandings associated with joining the Cloud Computing revolution, such as:
It’s A Trend:
Cloud computing is a credible and efficient tool with longevity. If you use social media, eBay, Gmail or Online Banking, you are already using Cloud Computing.
It’s not as Secure:
Cloud computing is a significantly safe way to store, share and secure your data. Client’s are highly recommended to use the Cloud’s host-based firewall. Also available are host-based intrusion protection programs specialized for virtual machines and Cloud Clients
(Example – Trend Micro Deep Security or Symantec O3).
It’s Costly:
Even with the move to the cloud and monthly costs, organizations could save money long term on IT Management Services.
It’s Complicated:
There are many different types of Cloud Computing to choose from that should make executing hassle-free.
It’s only for Large Organizations:
The Cloud is not reserved for Large Organizations only. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (SaaS or DaaS) can be a cost-effective solution for organizations of any size.
Changes are not strategic:
Plans are setup to acquire full benefits offered by Cloud Computing by integrating corporate strategy and technology with the advantage of using internal resources.
Cloud is inoperable if the Internet goes down:
Having another provider with a secondary connection is a logical setup for all companies. Most organizations already operate with a connectivity “safety net”.
